Did they purge your tanks and get the air out before they were filled?
B.O.
My guess too...if these are new tanks and never "purged."
How does purging control how much propane is put in tank?
New tanks have air.......first fill up the bleeder valve is fully opened until propane flows out. This expels air in cylinders.
Subsequent fills bleeder valve is only cracked open until propane spits out then filling is stopped (80%)
If air is not purged then you will hear pinging at regulator as the chilled air goes thru it.
Not what is going on with OP
She has a leak and with both cylinders going empty then suspect changeover valve/fittings and/or regulator as those are common to both cylinders
